Stephen Johns was on NHL scouts' radars even as a top 40 early as January, two years ago, but then the hype somewhat faded down the stretch...see B-Mac's Jan 2010 List: http://www.tsn.ca/draftcentre/feature/?id=15660
Also, this...
from a McIlrath comparison thread, which in itself tells you a lot about Johns.

I know. I was going through some of the prior drafts and stumbled upon this guy. Figured it'd be a good place to ask.

If you opened a book, put your finger down on a page, found the nearest verb to the tip of your finger and performed that action, it would be random. Discussing a hockey prospect in a thread bearing that prospect's name on a board dedicated to discussing hockey isn't.
It truly is one of the most misused words.
I'm guilty of it for sure, though haha

I think his skating has improved based on what I've seen of him at the AHL level. "Piss poor" is no longer the adjective I would use at least. In fact, for his size and girth, I'd say it's pretty good actually. Maybe still in the "average" range, but certainly not enough to be prohibitive I would say...
I posted some more in the Stars board thread on this, I'm not sure that anyone else is that interested...

That post was nearly 4 years ago and you are correct Johns' skating is no longer as issue. Considering the quality of the Stars defense, I expect he will see some NHL time soon.
When the Griffins played Rockford he was hands down their best player, looks like he has real potential to be a good top 4 two way D.

A rookie that led the AHL in plus-minus and only got better as the year progressed. He even showed some offensive prowess in the playoffs this year.
As a Hawks fan I'm very disappointed we traded away our top defensive prospect as a throw in on the Sharp trade.

Stars fans, didn't see a thread on your board but could you guys (or other fans) tell me how Johns has been this season? I saw him not too long ago and I liked his game, especially his stick work, and skated well. Strong and physical player but seemed to get a little soft in front of the net. Just from my one viewing of him this year though.
Where does he fit in for the future on the Stars blueline?

50 NHL games played and my understanding is that HF mods don't close until 65 NHL games played, so on here I'd still consider him one I guess.
